OK. Everybody loves penguins.
But not even the mellifluous voice of Morgan Freeman can persuade me that this Penguin Nativity Scene isn't somehow blasphemous. Yes, that's the baby Jesus ensconced snuggly atop Mary's happy, webbed feet. You can buy this on ebay for $37.
If you recall, conservatives already exposed the environmentalist agenda of those tap-dancing penguins in the animated movie Happy Feet. And after first praising the monogamous birds in the documentary March of the Penguins, they were embarrassed to uncover gender role-reversals and intimate male bonding bordering on the homoerotic.
Now, this.
To paraphrase Nietzsche, "Cuteness that does not destroy me only makes me stronger."

Horrible. And yet, just a few steps lower than this:

Another blogger I read (http://www.goingjesus.com/) has four great sections on her website: "Angels We Have Heard Are High," "Cavalcade of Bad Nativities," "The Passion of the Tchotchke" and "Stations of the Kitsch." Very funny (but sad). Among the Cavalcade of Bad Nativities are both a nativity with dog figurines and one with live dogs dressed up as Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus.
